This is my first CutiePie Marzia collaboration box from Memebox, in fact it’s my first ever collaboration Memebox! Memebox released another two editions with CutiePie Marzia prior to this one and whilst the other two didn’t really appeal to me I took quite a liking to this edit which looked promising from the outset. In all honestly it was the lollipop soap which did it for me as sad as it sounds! CutiePie Marzia is a beauty and lifestyle vlogger with over 3 million subscribers on YouTube and has teamed up with Memebox to bring a series of boxes which include cute, adorable and darling beauty products. This box which is the finale in the series is bursting with 8 full-sized products and in my opinion they definitely saved the best till last.
As with all of the collaboration boxes you get to see everything inside the box unlike the other Memeboxes which are a complete surprise.
Memebox is a rapidly-growing, leading e-commerce beauty retailer born in Seoul, currently headquartered in San Francisco, California and provide Korean Beauty Boxes.
They offer a huge range of different themed beauty boxes which caters for everyone’s needs and likes and the good news is they ship to the UK and other parts of the world for only $6.99. These are not monthly subscription boxes and are available to buy as one offs. The majority of the boxes sell out very quickly so you do need to be supersonic.
This box is all things cute, charming and delightful and features a great line up of fun and usable products. The box contains 8 full sized items and features mainly skincare and body products.
1. Etude House Melting Summer Nail Beads – Full Size RRP £2.45
Enclosed in an ice cream shaped cone are tiny little nail beads which come in two colour variations. I received the pastel pink and blue mix which are really pretty. This is more of a spring/summer mix and isn’t a colour I would go this time of the year so I will be saving these for next year.
I’ve used these types of beads before and whilst they are a little messy they really do jazz up your nails. I love the packaging which is really cute and very Etude House who are known for their adorable packaging.
2. Ensoap Lollipop Natural Soap – Full Size RRP £3.06
This 100% natural soap which is in the shape of a lollipop caught my attention straight away and is the culprit which led me to buy this box.
The soap is hand crafted and is formulated with high concentrates of centella asiatica which is known for its antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, hyaluronic acid and hydrogenated camellia oil. It’s gentle formula can be used on all skin types and conditions and has a really pleasant scent which consists of citrus notes.
3. Missha Lucid Nail Polish – Full Size 8ml RRP £2.45
The Missha nail polish comes with a one-touch brush and is a rich and pigmented formula in a coral shade. It also claims to leave a fragrant rosemary scent after it’s dried.
I really like the colour which is very wearable. I don’t own any scented nail polishes so it was nice to finally own one.
4. Sua Young Berristure Cream – Full Size 100g RRP £24.53
This berrylicous moisturising cream is packed with various berry extracts and the Cos 5 complex, delivering an instant replenishment to the skin. The tiny collagen capsules within the formula helps lock in moisture for a more elastic, suppler complexion.
As the name suggests this smells wonderfully fruity and the cream has a gel consistency which feels refreshing and extremely light on the skin.
5. Purederm Nose Pore Strips – Full Size Pack of 6 RRP £3.68
The choco cacao nose pore strips which come in a pack of 6 are a one step pore care treatment which work to unclog blackheads, whiteheads and dirt.
These work the same way as the usual blackhead strips, you simply moisten the nose area with water, apply the strip and leave it on for around 10-15 minutes.
Fortunately I don’t suffer with blackheads however I do love trying these out on family members and seeing the aftermath! Is that weird?
6. Dearberry Ice Cream Hand Cream – Full Size 30ml RRP £4.29
Another hand cream for my collection and this one is the most adorable one to join my stash.
With it’s ice cream appearance, this creamy and scrumptious scented hand balm penetrates the skin quickly and moisturises and replenishes dehydrated hands.
The formula is enriched with naturally nourishing ingredients this claims to give you the softest hands ever.
7. Pure Smile Honey Queen Cleansing Oil – Full Size 100ml RRP £8.58
I love the bright packaging this cleanser comes presented in, it’s very eye catching with its honeycomb design.
This oil cleanser is formulated with real honey and acai berries which melts away the most adherent waterproof eye and lip make up without dehydrating or stimulating the skin.
8. Skin Food Honey Pot Lip Balm – Full Size 6g RRP £4.90
This honey pot lip balm is simply heart melting alongside the wooden application spatula.
The honey-textured lip balm which comes in a bright red shade isn’t vibrant as I was expecting. It’s not pigmented at all and gives more of a natural sheen. It’s super shiny formula is perfect for making the lips look fuller and glossier.
My Verdict
I am really impressed with the CutiePie Marzia edit 3. This box is all things cute, charming and delightful and features a great line up of fun and usable products! Within the box features some great show stoppers and Memebox have definitely curated a well thought out box which sees a great end to the Cutiepie Marzia series.
Inside the box showcases a great balance of wonderful, charming new discoveries and a selection of delightful treats, all of which are very useable and pleasing to the eye! What blew me away the most is that this box included 8 full sized products which is incredible.
The box itself came well packaged in a robust padded envelope and I can confirm that no custom charges were incurred.The information about the products and how to apply them is in English on a ‘card enclosed inside of the box so you won’t be lost in translation.
The contents within this box is worth £53.94 and the cost of the box including shipping works out to be around £18.29. It’s a small price to pay to discover these hidden gems which have an incredible box value as majority of the products are always full sized.
What makes Memebox very different is the variety and choice of beauty boxes which they offer their customers as a one off purchase. They release a huge amount of boxes throughout the year and will simply leave you spoilt for choice.
Memebox enables me to discover Korean beauty products which are not available here in the UK and their boxes definitely give you an opportunity to try out the latest beauty trends in Korea .
